To your last point, there was actually a celebrity, forgot her name, who very publicly married a white guy and followed him to his Western European homeland -- only to find he was a carpenter, so she ditched him and returned in (shameless) shame.
I have seen that similar story many times over.
Some 15 years ago when air-companies started doing direct flights from europe to northeast brazil, a number of girls of middle/upper-middle class families thought they were finally given the chance to meet their euro prince. So theyd marry go to europe and find out the guy was some blue collar worker and their living standard would be much lower, plus the kicker of crappy weather and unfriendly people...
More to the topic none of those guys spoke any portuguese
